Pagan Community Notes: Week of February 12, 2026

By |

In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, an extraordinary Anglo-Saxon sword has been uncovered in England, offering a glimpse into early medieval power and ancestral memory. Meanwhile, the calendar stirs. It might be Lupercalia — yes, who let the dogs out? It’s certainly St. Valentine’s Day, and possibly Dísablót. Late winter carries more than one story. Star shares her Tarot of the Week, offering insight as we navigate these shifting seasonal currents. Spirit Northwest Conference enters its second year, continuing to build sacred community in the Pacific Northwest. Over at Spelling the Heka-Tea, Marcus and Evanne may be simmering some love into their latest episode. And while you’re listening and learning about the amazing work happening across our community, don’t forget to check in with the Desperate House Witches. There’s a lot happening — and we’re here for all of it.

Then comes the strange: reports of David Hume’s grave being vandalized with so-called “satanic” imagery. And stranger still, the National Prayer Breakfast unfolded largely as predicted, while New Hampshire lawmakers introduced a constitutional amendment to move the state toward Christian theocracy.
